Sacred Symbols+, Episode 198: Understanding Street Fighter 6 (Patreon)

Please welcome Vince Ingenito back to +. Vince is a long-time industry veteran, critic, streamer, and -- for our purposes -- a bona fide fighting game expert. With Capcom's next mainline Street Fighter game incoming to PS4 and PS5 in 2023, I (Colin) thought I'd bring Vince back into the fold to discuss new developments. After all, the entire roster has leaked, it seems like there are going to be some new modes, the franchise is returning to cross-platform status, it's moving engines, and even its control scheme was temporarily controversial (though those fires have since gone out). With Capcom financially stronger than it has literally ever been, Street Fighter 6 promises to be a high-quality, expensive, and well-executed fighting game. All we're left to do in between now and launch is analyze and hypothesize, and we do both in great quantities right here.
